Summary:
The city of Nahant, Massachusetts has only one public school, Johnson Elementary School, which serves students from kindergarten through 6th grade. While the school's performance has fluctuated in recent years, it appears to be the sole educational institution in the Nahant school district.
Johnson Elementary School's statewide ranking has ranged from 288th out of 928 Massachusetts elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 555th out of 906 in 2024-2025. Its performance on MCAS tests has been mixed, with proficiency rates above the state average in some subjects and below in others. In 2023-2024, the school's proficiency rates were above the state average in both English Language Arts and Mathematics, but in 2024-2025, they were below the state average in those subjects, though above the state average in Science.
With 149 students and a student-teacher ratio of 13.6 to 1, Johnson Elementary School appears to have access to significant resources, as evidenced by its relatively high spending of $17,623 per student. However, without comparative data on other schools in the area, it is difficult to fully assess the school's performance and standing. Additional information on the school's demographics and trends over time would provide a more comprehensive understanding of its strengths, weaknesses, and unique characteristics.
